Leaking boiler - help!

At the girlfriends at the moment, just come back from the cinema to find the boiler is slowly leaking a steady stream of water. Had a look underneath and tried to turn off any taps but to no avail. The boiler is now currently switched off yet it's still leaking!
No answer when phoning British Gas and the landlord said they can't do anything until tomorrow!
Help please!

Honestly couldn't answer that, and I'm not even sure what that is. I'm a noob when it comes to boilers!

All I know is that it turns on when a hot tap is turned on and it controls when the central heating comes on, and there's a big pipe coming out of the top going outside. Only valves I can see are a stopcock, a filling loop and a yellow horizontal tap. Tried turning all and no joy!

Came back to it this morning to find it's stopped leaking, maybe just a build up of water? There's a British Gas engineer coming out anyway.

Bizarrely it seems to have sorted itself out?!
